Yosemite Family Adventure Coordinators have designed our five and seven day fly fishing packages to make sure that all of Yosemite's main fly fishing locations are incorporated. Once you decide on how many days to spend in Yosemite, head over to our "Package Details" section to learn more about our three "Customizing Options".
The Five Day Fly Fishing Package will give you plenty of time to fish many of Yosemite's main bodies of water and it will also allow time for you to get into the back country of Yosemite, away from all of the commotion of the valley.

The Seven Day Fly Fishing Package was meticulously assembled for the visitors that want to spend a little more time being consumed by Yosemite's magical landscape. This tour opens up just the right amount of time to reach those beautiful back country rivers and lakes, that might offer up a rare chance to catch a large back country Rainbow trout.

​If five or seven days is to long for your group, please contact our adventure coordinators to inquire about a 'Custom Package Quote" and we will create an Inclusive Package designed to meet your personal wants and needs.
